Reviews

Game Title Publisher Reviewer Pages Pg No(s) Rating
Space Pirates American Laser Games N/A Quarter Page Review 72 68%
Zhadnost Studio 3DO N/A Quarter Page Review 72 74%
Hell GameTek N/A Quarter Page Review 73 80%
  • Space Pirates - Space Pirates is severely lacking long term appeal and like ourselves you'll probably get miffed and switch to alternative means of entertainment after a while.
  • Zhadnost - Through is simple gameplay isn't exactly riveting, Zhadnost is a good laugh with a group of mates.
  • Hell - Dennis Hopper totally steals the show as the shifty demon, Mr Beautiful. Apart from the odd combat sequence there isn't much action to the game, but once you start solving a few puzzles you become hopelessly hooked.
